6 Stunning Beach Wedding Destinations
Destination Weddings - Feb 26, 2015
By Divia Thani Daswani
Location, location, location. You’ve found your Prince Charming, and now it’s time to plan. So, where do you want this journey to begin? Does it involve a castle, a palace, or the mountains? A glittering city or a pristine coast? Whatever your choice of storybook setting is, find it and book it. You only get the opportunity to create the actual fairy tale you have always dreamed once.
Whatever your choice of location, when you plan a wedding in a different destination, that place holds a special significance for you and your partner for the rest of your lives. You will carry it with you in your hearts, you will plan to return many times, you will one day bring your children to it and delightedly explain the spot Mom and Dad got married in. It becomes a story you will tell for many years. It could even be the place you return to if you want to rekindle your romance when it needs a spark, or where you go to celebrate anniversaries and birthdays. Whether it is Goa, Phuket or Pondicherry, your heart will sure lift a little whenever it is mentioned, or when you’ll recall the special memories of your big day.
